Tetragrammaton |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.15 sec. |
Tetragrammaton(Greek; “having four letters”) Four Hebrew consonants yod, he, vav, and he—variously transliterated as JHVH, JHWH, YHWH, or YHVH—that together represent the name of God. Traditionally the tetragrammaton is not pronounced; Jehovah and Yahweh are two vocalizations of it. |

In the Septuagint the term for "Lord," kyrios, stands in for the unsayable Tetragrammaton, YHWH (Wright: 169; Foerster). When Chloe asks whether the letters of the Tetragrammaton are "real," Arglay replies that they are "real in another manner--more or less real than we are" (MD 38-9). In the same work, another set of four--a hammer and sickle, a cross, a pair of crossed daggers, and a star--forms a kind of tetragrammaton out of the emblems of communism, Christianity, militarism, and capitalism. |
